DIY Door Handles (Under $30!)

Whenever we take on a new house project  - from painting the walls to adding on a mud room - I like to add a personal touch to it. We recently built a new garage, which is clad in barn board, and were on the hunt for the perfect door handles to complement the rustic look. When we couldn't find any we liked (at a … [Read more...]

Salt Dough Valentine Hearts

It's almost Valentine's Day and my inner crafty girl is just busting to get out. While I'm seriously lacking time (and, often, sleep) I just can't help myself when it comes to holidays.

Fancy Nancy Party DIY

My daughter loves books... and one of her favourite characters is Fancy Nancy. If you've never heard of her, you should check out her books!

How to Make Fancy Nail Polish Marshmallow Treats

I first saw these amazing looking marshmallow nail polish bottles on Pinterest and was obsessed! I knew I just HAD to make them for my daughter's upcoming Fancy Nancy-themed party. It was too perfect! But, when I finally tracked down the recipe, I wasn't thrilled with it - microwaved supermarket icing, coloured, and then used as a marshmallow … [Read more...]

Just Call Me MacGyver…

I have a product in my home that I love, but find myself resenting the fact that I have to buy a proprietary refill for it. How about you? (There are actually a few I can think of!) It's not so much that I mind having to buy the refills, it's the exorbitant price I'm charged to do so. It's at times like these when my hidden, inner MacGyver comes … [Read more...]
